This menu may not be available if the selected Compressor supports only one color depth. You can also specify an 8-bit (256-color) palette when preparing a video program for 8-bit color playback--for example, to match the colors on a web page or in a presentation. When available, click Palette, and then either select Make Palette from Movie to derive a color palette from the frames used in the video program, or select Load Palette Now to import a color palette that you prepared and saved previously. You can load color palettes in the ACO (Photoshop color swatch), ACT (Photoshop color palette), or PAL (Windows palette--Windows only) format.</p><p class="note"><span class="bold">Note:</span> With the QuickTime file type, you can attach a 256-color palette to a movie of any bit depth. You can specify a palette for 24-bit movies to use when displaying on 8-bit monitors, and you can prevent palette "flashing" by attaching the same palette to many movies. Video for Windows supports attaching a palette only to an 8-bit movie.</p><p class="run-inhead">Frame Size</p><p class="paragraph">Specifies the dimensions, in pixels, for video frames you export. Choose 4:3 Aspect to constrain the frame size to the 4:3 aspect ratio used by conventional television. Some codecs support specific frame sizes. Increasing the frame size displays more detail but uses more disk space and requires more processing during playback, which can cause poor playback on slower computers.</p><p class="run-inhead">Frame Rate</p><p class="paragraph">Specifies the number of frames per second for video you export. Some codecs support a specific set of frame rates. Increasing the frame rate may produce smoother motion (depending on the original frame rates of the source clips) but uses more disk space.</p><p class="run-inhead">Pixel Aspect Ratio</p><p class="paragraph">Specifies the pixel aspect ratio of the exported file. If you are exporting to DV AVI, choose any of the four D1/DV NTSC or DV PAL ratios, depending on the television standard of your locale. Otherwise, choose the option that matches your source video or that conforms to your destination. For instance, because Animated GIFs will most likely be viewed on a computer screen, which displays pixels in squares, the 1.0 aspect ratio is most appropriate. When the pixel aspect ratio (displayed in parentheses) doesn't match 1.0, the output type uses rectangular pixels, which is the case for DV AVI ratios. For more information, see <a href="1_5_11_0.html">About aspect ratios</a>.</p><p class="run-inhead">Quality</p><p class="paragraph">Specifies the picture quality of and disk space used by exported video. If you are using the same codec to capture and export, and you've rendered previews of a video, you can save rendering time by matching the export quality setting with your original capture quality setting. Increasing quality above the original capture quality does not increase quality, but may result in longer rendering times. </p><p class="note"><span class="bold">Note: </span>The quality slider is not available for all codecs.</p><p class="run-inhead">Limit Data Rate to _ K/Sec</p><p class="paragraph">Specifies an upper limit on the amount of video data produced by the exported video when it is played back. (This option may not be available for the selected compressor) </p><p class="note"><span class="bold">Note:</span> In some codecs, quality and data rate are interrelated, so that adjusting one option automatically alters the other.</p><p class="run-inhead">Recompress</p><p class="paragraph">Ensures that Adobe Premiere Elements exports a video file that is under the data rate you specified. <span class="Emphasis">Always</span> compresses every frame even if it is already within the data rate. <span class="Emphasis">Maintain Data Rate</span> preserves quality by compressing only the frames that are above the specified data rate. Recompressing previously compressed frames may lower picture quality. Deselect Recompress to prevent current compression settings from being applied to clips that were not altered when you edited them into the program.</p></ol><hr /><div class="breadcrumbs"><a href="1_11_8_1.html" title="General export settings">Previous</a> | <a href="1_11_8_3.html" title="Keyframe and Rendering export settings">Next</a> | <a href="#top">Top</a> | <a href="1_11_0_0.html">Exporting Movies</a> > <a href="1_11_8_0.html">About export settings</a></div></td></tr></table>
